The dynamics of ITV with regards to romance is really confusing and twisted. Pre-marriage romance is something that ITV doesn’t have any problem with. In fact it’s the best technique used by ITV makers to attract fandoms. ITV doesn’t have any problem at all with ml and fl falling over each other by the first episode even before they have established their characters properly. What a sane viewer might see as manhandling or I might dare say molestation (imagine some random not-so-good-looking guy doing the same to a fl) is portrayed as intense romance in ITV and the fandom actually gulps it and goes crazy for it.
When it comes to post-marriage romance that’s whole other story. FLs who are absolutely fine with being physically handled any way the MLs pleases before marriage post marriage become the ultimate shy virgin brides. I’m yet to see a show where the ml and fl actually consummate their marriage on the day they got married. Most of all once the deed is done romance becomes totally out of the picture as they are busy saving the world with innumerable plannings and plottings. Also realistic romance (even make-believe) and ITV don’t go hand-in-hand. In short, to expect dev and sonakshi to have realistic romance after 3 kids is a far stretch in ITV.
almost all the marriages in ITV are forced/marriage of convenience, how will they make out on the wedding night🤣
